Buyers in Lexington, Kentucky, have started evaluating houses the way investors do. Before they make an offer on a home that needs work, they itemize the repairs – the floors, the roof, the HVAC – and subtract the cost from the asking price. Sellers who list at the price the house would command after renovation, ...
Most housing markets expand outward when demand rises. Central Oregon cannot. Oregon’s land-use framework defines where developers can build neighborhoods, and those boundaries do not move just because more people want to live in Bend. On one side of a street sits a subdivision; on the other, a five-acre parcel that no developer can turn ...
Over the past four to five years, developers and governments around the world have announced a wave of mega-scale destination projects – ambitious, visually striking, and backed by significant capital. Now many of them are stalling, shrinking, or disappearing outright because the underlying economics never held up. Ambitious renderings attract attention, but the absence of ...
For years, Casa Grande sat south of the Phoenix metropolitan area as a place most Valley residents associated with outlet shopping and agriculture – not homeownership. That perception is changing, driven by a widening of Interstate 10, a state water designation that clears the way for more than 80,000 new homes across Casa Grande and ...
In a buyer’s market, the listings that sit longest usually look like a market’s weakest assets. In Rockwall, Texas – a lakeside community on Lake Ray Hubbard about 25 miles northeast of Dallas – some of them have become a practical entry point for investors. The same slowdown that leaves Rockwall’s newer tract subdivisions lingering ...
Growth and market health are not the same thing, and Brunswick County, North Carolina, shows the difference. The county keeps adding residents at one of the fastest rates in the country: its population grew 4.7% between 2024 and 2025, the fastest pace in North Carolina and sixth-fastest nationally, adding nearly 8,000 people. Yet the coastal ...
For Brian Rudderow, the case against single-family wholesaling came down to what the work cost him relative to what it paid. His wholesale margins have thinned, seller expectations remain high, and squatter-occupied properties have added a problem no spreadsheet captures: occupants who stretch timelines, raise the risk, and can consume two months of work for ...
Most of the country’s housing markets have cooled since the pandemic boom. Bradford County, Pennsylvania, has not. More than six years after the pandemic reshuffled housing demand, sellers there still hold the advantage, because the county’s market runs on its own timeline rather than the nation’s. “We are still in a seller’s market and we ...
Age-restricted communities in Northeast Florida no longer belong only to retirees. In St. Johns County, some buyers who have barely reached the minimum age now treat these neighborhoods as a lifestyle choice: a smaller home, active amenities, and no yard to worry about while they travel. Sarah Olson, a team leader at First Coast Collective ...
Coronado, California, sells roughly 275 to 300 homes a year across an island with no vacant land and no room to expand. That fixed supply has always shaped the market, but it is now producing visible fault lines between price tiers. Oceanfront and bayfront properties above $10 million are setting new records. Older homes on ...
Hispanic buyers are carrying U.S. homeownership growth. According to the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP), Hispanic households added 441,000 net new homeowners in 2025. That is more than the country’s entire net gain, and without them the U.S. would have lost roughly 125,000 owner households. Diana Vasquez has spent 13 years in ...
In Tucson, Arizona, quality still sells at the top of the market. A $925,000 home in Oro Valley, one of the area’s higher-end districts, recently sold at full price in six days after drawing more than one offer. Michael Oliver, who co-owns Oliver Realty, a boutique luxury brokerage, with his wife, Heather, calls multiple offers ...
Tucson’s housing market has cooled along with much of the Sun Belt in 2026, but the slowdown has not thinned its buyer pool. Redfin puts the metro’s median sale price in the mid-$300,000s, down slightly from a year ago, and closed sales through the first half of the year ran slightly ahead of 2025. Active ...
By any standard measure, the resale market around Houston is balanced. The Houston Association of Realtors put metro-wide single-family inventory at 5.5 months in September, and the association’s chair has described balance as the market’s defining feature. Agents typically read four to six months of supply as balance, the range where a well-priced home should ...
South of Wichita, Kansas, the obstacle to closing a sale has moved from the list price to the buyer’s wallet. Mortgage rates in the sevens have shrunk what buyers can borrow and left them with less cash to bring to closing. In towns like Belle Plaine, Mulvane, and Oxford, sellers increasingly make up the difference: ...
